SATA drives are very impressive so far i've had to deal with about a dozen and i've had little complaints. Just make sure your bios works with the Drive
Someone else above me hit this already, but I want to AGAIN state that DDR2 won't work with AMD.... This isn't a matter of a driver or BIOS update that can make it compatable.... DDR2 is PHYSICALLY different that DDR(1). The DDR2 sticks will NOT fit into a DDR motherboard.
